Hi Everyone, my very first post so go easy
I'm currently in the process of loft boarding my friends loft, the size of it is 7.5m x 3.2
It's going to be used just for light storage, nothing really major going up there.
however after reading a few of the forum posts I'm a little worried now, the house i'd say is 1950/60s and it's a semi etc
Everything up in the loft looks pretty clean and new, there is a water tank mounted on extra timber above a partion wall below, and in the centre there is a chimney.
The Insulation is of the loose kind (sort of what they spray up via tube), I've managed to compress most of this ready to make way for the boards but theres a few wires going over the joists so would I be right in saying I need to use 20 amp junction boxes and make a small hole in the joists to hide these?
The Joists looking above them are about 50mm wide and they seem quite solid to walk on.
I would just like a little advice to see if I'm doing this right
Thanks
Peter
